Mr.. Mcmillan is one of tie best

For many years of his life he had a

in the following letter, which also
tells what was the unlucky sporting

Honey Dew.

American Agriculturist.
The peculiar, visid swedish sub
stance that sometimes appears on
the leaves of pear and some other
tress in summer, and which is known
as "honey dew" is largely, if not
entirely a secretion ofthe aphis. Ants
are fond of this secretion, and hence
are always found on plants infested
with plant lice. Indeed, the latter
are treated by the ants much as if
they had been reduced to a state of
domestication. 1t is known that
the ants frequently transport the lice
from place to place, that they know
howto cause them toyield their sweet
secretion at will, and they r also
thoughtto protect them from their
insect enemies. They are called
''ants' cows"

A Remarkable Cure of Deafness.
Parkman, Me.

Parkman, Me.
Messrs. 1. S. johnson & Co.,-Gen-
tlemen-I am going to tell you about
my case in part. Some thirty years
ago 1 used to be troubled with cough,
and threw up mucus, junks of hard
matter. People said it was catarrh.
l took DR.. Marshall's Snuff. 1t would
make me sneeze, and give relief for a
short time; but the trouble grew
worse. Some fifteen years ago it
got so bad that l had to breathe out
of my mouth. Ten years ago it
caused partial deafness, which in
creased, and for the last six or eight
years | have been stone deaf in my
right ear, and very hard of hearing
in. my left ear. l have taken doses
Of physic, powders, and pills, from
various physicians, and applied bis
tiers, with only temporary relief. But
of late / am getting permanent bene-
ft-for 1 have been taking Johnson's
Anodyne Liniment for the last five
months. In a short time after l COM
menced taking it and applying it to
the ear according to directions, there
appeared to be a large round sub
stance in my right ear got loOsed from
its fastening, and would move round
as my head was in different positions.
1t continded to grow smaller and
about forty days since it was all dis
solved and gone, and 1 can hear as
well as ever 1 could. Your liniment
was the cause of my recovering my
hearing and it has done more for me
than anything else. Twill make oath
to the truth of these statements any
time. DR.. Stevens of this place adj
vised me to write and tell you what
the liniment. had done for me and !
concluded to write, for it might do
somebody some good.

HURRAH FOR ATLANTA.
Will Julius MARITIME on the Rock Pile
Say Prohibition Won't Prohibit"

say Prohlbltlon won . fTonlDlt1
ATLANTA, GA, May 2O.-The Pro-
hibition law has at last landed a vic
tim whose condition excites deep in
terest. MI. Julius MARITIME, who is
highlythought of and well connected,
was formerly a wine merchant in
this city. When the law making
liquor selling illegal went into effect
he retired to his home, and was
always glad to see his friends. A
case was made against MARITIME, but
so we'll did he maintain the air of
injured innocence it was dropped.
Finally the officers decided to try
him again. So. last Sunday two
guests of MARITIME were arrested as
they landed upon the sidewalk. In
their pockets were found well filled
TASKS. 1t was upon evidence thus
secured that Mr.. MARITIME was fined
$500 in the city court and sentenced
to a term of thirty days on the rock
pile, and bound over in sums of $1,000
each on several charges to the Supe-
rior courts. Mr.. MARITIME, who has
been two days behind the bars,
where he has been visited by hun
dreds of citizens, was yesterday start
ed in on his experience with the pub
lie work. The fact that a man in his
standing should be SO heavily dealt
with has given the. people a new
idea of the Prohibition laws.
Why don't you get out of the
saloon before the law forces you out.
Well dressed young man, where
were you last Thursday night? The
saloon lamp went out last!
We are glad young man, that you
are ashamed of your breath but we
know that you drink nevertheless.
The cannon will boom and the
bells will ring next September in
joyful triumph over the liquor devil.
Speak out-your silence on prohi-
tion-what does it mean?
Plenty of liquor means poverty,
filth, i%lliteracy, theft, murder, adulte-
ry, corrupt politicians, a debauched
ballot box and damnation to the
Saloons-the open gang ways to
hell.
All mother you weep now; your
boy, poor fellow, is well nigh ruined,
but you shall rejoice when the storm
Of the ballot box shall sweep the
saloon and the still house from the
face of the State forever. Halleluyah.

seller, what do you think? Can you
challenge thus the arm Of the Lord
Almighty?
The impossible gulf twixt earth
and heaven, the saloon?
When did you see a woman in a

Keep out of the. saloon and let it
die of starvation under the contempt
Of an insulted people.

THE QUESTION OF FREE TRADE
